I Fight the Battle Everyday

I am not sure what has happened here in Tennessee (maybe all the rain??) but there seems to be an explosion of baby squirrels everywhere! I live in a wooded area, the the little guys are everywhere this summer. Once I pulled into my driveway and there were TEN of them sitting there grinning at me. Of course this has deepened my conviction to protect my bird feeders, and sent me and my husband on a quest to find the perfect solution. We succumbed to all sorts of marketing and bought feeder after feeder, trying to keep the little snots out of the the sunflower seeds… we even tried good ole Tennessee country wisdom, and let me tell you tying s sock filled with moth balls onto your gazebo wall is NOT effective:) But you will be excited to know that we finally came up with a solution– and it works! It’s the “Yankee Flipper” and when a squirrel touches the bottom of it, it spins and flips them off. There are really funny videos of this if you Google Yankee Flipper– but most of all it keeps those little buggers at bay! A win for the home team!

Great team! They represented the buying and selling of my condo! Always professional! Always prompt! Always upfront and honest. I would highly recommend them!

Courteous, professional, prompt! If you want to get the job done by the best, call the Terrell Team. I had multiple offers on Day1, and some were over the asking price! Luisa, my agent, helped me sort through the offers with knowledge and Patience! This is our second time to use the Terrell Team and would highly recommend them over all the other agencies in the area! We do not live in the state, so it makes the job even more challenging for the agent! But, she got it closed in a timely manner! M…

I’ve bought and sold 3 properties, all with Jane Terrell and the Terrell-Drager team. Jane and her team are very knowledgeable about real estate in the area and are very responsive. Always ready to answer questions, and always willing to go above and beyond to make things happen. It’s been a pleasure all three times, and closings have always gone off without a hitch.

As a first-time homebuyer, I had little experience or knowledge in regards to realty. The staff was extremely helpful, and Emili Spangler in particular. She was very helpful and patient, especially given my inexperience. She often went above and beyond what was required, and was always proactive in making sure we stayed on track. A real pleasure to work with and the reason I’m now so happy to be able to say I’m finally a homeowner. My thanks to Emili and the rest of the staff!

Lynn and Jane did a fabulous job selling our home! They responded very quickly and always were professional. From the beginning, it was a well-written listing with a professional photographer that drew interest in the property. Whether you are looking for a property to buy or sell, choose this agency and you will be super happy with the service you get! They saw us through from beginning to end! Thank you, Lynn and Jane!!!
